August 26, 2025 2:18 PM : The Yankees activated Cruz (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Cruz wound up missing two months of action with a strained left oblique but is ready to go following a brief rehab assignment. It's a big boost to the Yankees' bullpen, as Cruz boasts a 3.00 ERA and elite 41.2 percent strikeout rate in 2025.
